The MGM arena is pretty nice. Getting to it is impossible. The ticket booth is hard to find. You have to walk a mile just to get to the arena from parking.

Pac-12 Men's Basketball Tournament
Pride and a guaranteed spot in the NCAA tournament are on the line every March in the Pac-12 Men's Basketball Tournament. All 12 teams in the Pac-12 Conference are eligible to participate, with the top four teams receiving a first-round bye, giving every team a shot at making the Big Dance. After an 11 year run at the Los Angeles' Staples Center, since 2013 the Pac-12 Tournament has been held on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada: First at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, then moving to the T-Mobile Arena in 2017 (which seats 18,000 for basketball).
Pac-12 Men's Basketball Tournament History
The Pac-12 Conference was originally founded in 1959 as the Athletic Association of Western Universities, but it has ties to the Pacific Coast Conference, which existed from 1915 to 1959. What was first dubbed the Pac-8 became the Pac-10 in 1978, with the addition of Arizona and Arizona State, and further realignment in 2011 led to the inclusion of Utah and Colorado, and the current moniker. The Pac-12 has won 15 NCAA championships, tying the Atlantic Coast Conference for the most titles by a conference.
After an initial attempt at a Pac-10 Conference Tournament from 1987 to 1990, the format was reintroduced in 2002 with greater success. The Pac-10 was among the last conferences to adopt a conference tournament format, with the Big Ten introducing its tournament in 1998, and the Ivy League finally getting one in 2017. UCLA won the inaugural tournament in 1987, with Reggie Miller securing the Pac-10 tourney's first MVP award. Arizona won the next four tournaments, including the last three in the original series and its reintroduction in 2002. Many stars and legends have dominated in the tournament, including two-time MVPs Sean Elliott and Isaiah Thomas, as well as 2018 No. 1 NBA draft pick Deandre Ayton. The 2019 tournament saw Oregon upset Washington 68-48 in the championship, behind the performance of tourney MVP Payton Pritchard.

by Atlantafun30080 on 3/17/14MGM Grand Garden Arena - Las VegasComing from the Southeast, I had not had much experience with big-time West Coast college basketball. This was as fun an atmosphere as any college basketball tournament I have been to. It was great having it in a compact arena, it really got loud. I was impressed by Arizona's fans. Only complaint was with MGM's slow will call service. I would advise having tickets in hand when you get there so you don't have to deal with them.

by Rebel04 on 3/16/14MGM Grand Garden Arena - Las VegasI'm a Las Vegas resident who enjoys great basketball and a change from the Mountain West, so this was second year attending. Not as electric of a semi-final day (3 blow-outs out of four games) as last year, but still good ball. The bands are great and Colorado had best student section. MGM improved from last year, as concession wait times weren't as bad.

Rating: 1 out of 5by Anonymous on 3/16/14MGM Grand Garden Arena - Las Vegas I enjoyed my tickets to Session 3 but didn't enjoy the fact that Ticketmaster canceled and resold a ticket I had purchased for Session 6 and I didn't get to attend the final game using the ticket I purchased. The one star rating is an overall rating Session 3 (4 stars) and Session 4 (-2 stars).
